Biography
Artemidorus was born in Knidos in Asia Minor, and he became a sophist during the 1st century BC. In 44 BC, he became aware of a plot against Julius Caesar's life, and he attempted to warn him with a written note. Although Caesar took the note, he did not look at it before his assassination at the Roman Senate. He was the last citizen of the Roman Republic to be made a god in his own lifetime, being rewarded with deification for his loyalty to Caesar.
